About me:
I enjoy spending time outdoors and doing everything from fishing, hunting, and hiking. I love all types of knives and sharpening them until they are razor, hair popping sharp. I also enjoy helping people better understand what knives are worth buying, and how not to get ripped off. On this channel I will be helping all of you take a look at different knives and other products that are useful and worth buying. I will also teach you how I sharpen knives along with reviewing some other awesome products along the way.
Thank you for all of your support :)

I'm really pleased with this! It works like a charm ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ Takes less time than my old electric sharpener because it can take more off the knife faster, and then it smooths out nicely with the finer grit polisher. I don't know how long it will last before the grit wears away, but I wouldn't mind having to replace it every once in a while.
Best video of the year award goes to you sir!!!!
Thanks so much man
Agreed. Honestly
Man you’re awesome. Using this method I was able to get a mirror edge with a cheap not inexpensive but cheap Smith’s precision sharpener from Walmart.
Thanks again, glad it helped out.
Was not sure about this system but with this hack I’m sold. Thank You!👍🏻🙏🏻
I already own the sharpener, was about to buy replacement stones. Now I'm otw to auto zone for sand paper lol. Thanks man great vid
Dude! You have shown us the holy grail! I ordered everything as soon as the video was over. Just a note. The adhesive is now $40 😬. I am stoked to get my supplies. Sharpener arrives today, the papers tomorrow and hopefully the adhesive comes soon too. Thanks for the great idea! I ordered this sharpener before I saw you video and was tempted to send it back but now.... nope! Mirror on a Swiss Arm Knife, 🤯
Glad you like it. Thanks
3M 77 spray adhesive is just as good if not not better and easier to use and cost a LOT less.
I've been using it for years. (also sold at Wally world).
KnifeMaker
Ha that’s so ironic. I literally was sprucing up my edge tonight and I panicked a little cause I couldn’t find my adhesive. Good to know there is a cheaper alternative!!
@@michaell39777 is a permanent bond.
You sir have made my day!! I just ordered the Work Sharp a few minutes ago!!
I though about this idea so many times but never figured out the adhesive... in the past I've used super77 for a permanent bond but this this is a game changer I was planning to get a blitz360 form tsprof and a set of blanks to play with and thanks to you and your grand wisdoms here I know exactly what I'm going to do with them 😈 save a shit tone of time and money over the life of the sharpener and my own life for that matter... awesome video and I wish it was more Amin stream I was looking all over for ideas before I stumbled across this little gem! Thanks again for sharing its greatly appreciated!!!
🥃cheers🍻
Wow. Just discovered this video and it’s still amazing! Used your method to reprofile my Kershaw Cryo that I messed up on while learning to freehand sharpen on whetstone. Was able to slap on 100 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper and the adhesive worked fantastically. Thank you!
Like you said, a little goes a long way, and you do have to wait a while for it to initially get tacky so your sandpaper doesn’t slide around. With the coarser grit, it’s helpful to start slow and use a pull stroke only. After the grit settles in, then it’s easier to go up and down to hog off material faster.
Hi
Thank you for your good video, how long does this knife sharpener usually work? And after how long should it be replaced?
If I order 2 ceramic replacement stones I could essentially have a 3 sided system exactly how I want it using your hack.
Mahalos from Hawaii
Seams good, lots of options.
I like your philosophy of getting good and even excellent results without spending a lot of money. I also like your technique of doing a little on each side and flipping the blade. I don't get the "raise a burr" then sand it off, then do that on the other side. If you have a blade in reasonable shape, the strikes me like a lot of unnecessary work and material removal. Lastly, I like your going with the direction of the blade as opposed to sawing back and forth across the blade. I get that you were doing that to preserve the sand paper, but that is my preferred method of sharpening.
Amazing exactly what I was looking for
Excellent idea, thanks for sharing. I’m def doing this.
I know this is an older posted video (I just recently discovered this channel) but I am sure someone can chime in and answer, if you plan on using this method, would you still purchase the Precision Adjust upgraded kit or would that just be a waste of money? Thanks!
I would agree with some of the criticism I have read about the worksharp precision adjust on the lack of #grits. I bought on Amazon a package of 5 sheets of 10 grits ranging from 240 to 3000 for 15CDN$. I make 14 strips that fit the precision adjust ceramic stone with each sheet. So 70 strips for each grit. The adhesive works just like what you see in the video… almost endless stick & replace. So absolutely go for it. On top of it The bundle of sheets I bought are waterproof. With these I can do the back and forth movement that is not recommended in the video without detroying my paper strips.
Awosme idea!!
Would there be any advantage to wetting the sandPaper?
Maybe worth a shot, my results have been satisfactory for me, but definitely worth a try wetting them.
Just purchased the WSPA sharpener, and am excited to try the lapping film option! Hoping you can help with two questions... 1) How long does the adhesive paste stay tacky before having to "refresh" it? and 2) what is the process used to remove the adhesive paste if necessary? Keep up the good work, and you have a new subscriber!
Exactly the questions I have. I also like to know can the papers be used again or only once?
Excellent idea
Amazing vid. Thanks. Two thumbs up
"Merry Christmas to all "!!! Hey thanks, as I'm only able to make a knife some what duller since difficulties w/arm and hands doesn't work well freehand sharpening!! W/o the big bucks, anything much above your setup is out of range for me, for sure!!! Great going. Ya won't see anyone else do these because they want to sell you something and make money, the takers not savers!! Great job, again thanks, for sure!!! Be safe, take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏🏻😇👊
I've got a solution for the super high-end steals like s90v k390 and maxamet. I've got a Lansky sharpening system. On eBay you can get 3 to $4 Diamond sharpening plates that are up to 6000 great. Once one of my Lansky diamond stones where's out i cut a strip out of the eBay Diamond plates and super glue it too the stone. EBay Diamond plates last almost as long as the landsky stones. I get five or six strips out of each plate
Hello Jacob you would have a link of diamond bands ? please
@@adriencolombani6909 bands? They are just thin diamond plate.
Those three grits are perfect enough for me and the edge I want om my working knives like my SAK. I can take it from the city into the forest and bushcraft.
Nice idea, thank you.
some steels are impossible to sharpen with aluminum oxide sharpeners and you need diamond plates to sharpen the carbide molecules or any other hard stuff in the steel, aluminum oxide is just polishing and rounding whenever i tried to freehand sharpening hard supersteels like 204p etc. whats your thoughts..
Umm, I have not run into a single steel that Aluminum Oxide cannot sharpen. I will say that if you can afford Diamond lapping films, they make the process a little faster, but these films were developed by 3M to polish glass used in the optics industry to an ultra mirror edge. Even 3M recommends AO for anything basically, its just not as fast cutting as Diamonds. Pick a steel you want to see get a mirror edge and I will demonstrate.
@@Sweetknives At the moment my biggest pain is 204p. i want a perfect edge, that means excellent cutting ability through plastic and wood. i wanna determin what is the best grits to use and skip while sharpening to get microscopic teeth that are microscopicly sharp. i hope i dont sound wierd but my goal is to learn cts 204p and xhp for now
Very cool idea my man. Just subscribed and thanks for sharing. Stay well my friend.
I'm going to nominate you for a NOBEL PRIZE in blade sharpening ,I'm sure the got one , if not they should
Thank you Sir. :)
I also sharpened my rajah 2 on it
Do I get the micron paper and 3m adhesive or 3m adhesive and sandpaper
Really simple just go to www.lappingfilms.com and buy those and cut to your desired size. This is the best deal period!
Literally!!!
Awesome idea! Have you tried a run-of-the-mill 3M glue stick that creates a removable surface (like a Post-It)? Because your sharpening motion doesn’t pull on the abrasive strip, I would think the strip would stay in place(?)
Thanks, and no I haven’t tried anything else so I’ll leave that up to everyone else. I know this stuff works pretty good though. :)
I may have just found what I'm getting next instead of the edge Apex pro.
You will save some money.
I see that 3M makes lapping films that have pressure-sensitive backing, and film sheets that do not have the backing adhesive. Can you use the 3M feathering-disc adhesive for the non-adhesive-backed films, or are they too delicate?
I noticed you flipped your knife easily by pushing the button behind the unit. Did you do anything to accomplish this, my button is hard to push? Thanks!
It may just need to be broken in a little bit??
How would you clean the adhesive off without harm to the stone?
I made a video on this here ua-cam.com/video/p-jFyHNy3PM/v-deo.html
Could add a piece of leather or would that change the angle???
Leather would change the angle, but you could add a piece and then raise the angle on the unit to compensate.
How about Serrated blades
Doesn’t work for serrated blades.
This thing made the spyderco sharpmaker obsolete
I think so too.
SOLD!
Guys, one quick question: After doing this process is it still necessary to use a leather strap with compound ?
No it’s not at all
@@Sweetknives Thanks for the answer, I wasn´t able to find the 3M adhesive in my region, so I ordered a super thin double sided tape, I will let everyone know if it works
Full even strokes …let the comments begin 😂
Since the lapping films start at 300 or 600, could you just use that set or would you say the auto sandpaper is crucial??
I like the lapping films myself a lot so you could definitely try that out. The auto sandpaper is for people who may not have access to the lapping films right away.
@@Sweetknives thank you sir! I’m loving the system, time to throw another $25 to get to the next level!!
@@1130jawz sounds good, definitely worth it.
@@Sweetknives just grabbed the Taylor lapping film pack. With the Pressure sensitive adhesive on the back, they should come off pretty clean, a little soap or alcohol will wipe that right off the ceramic stone. Thanks for the advice!
Can I buy the extra pieces off you?
www.ebay.com/itm/194089353957
3:53 I hate getting charged up the butt. It's the worst.
lol.... that was pretty funny.
@@Sweetknives good review though, man. I'm just weird.
This is brilliant. You just sold this system to me.
Ditto.
Hell yea im loading up the ol amazon cart right now! 🤪
Just bought mine on Amazon. Bout to put in work on my collection! Thanks for this solution! Gonna save tons of $$$
You can do clickbait advertisements for this video
"Knife sharpening companies HATE this one simple trick!"
I hate click bait. I avoid it and won't go back to a site that uses it. In this case, there might be some truth to knife sharpening companies hating this trick. They would rather sell you the accessories. It looks like he has several videos on using this sharpener.
I used to do this with the 3M Wet/Dry papers up to #2500, with my KME rig.
I'd use double-sided tape, taped to the backs of the included DMT diamond plates.
Worked like a charm & very inexpensive...
Which double sided tape did you use?
Dude cut some wood blocks about 3/4 deep drill hole the size of the rod in the center length wise and make a block as many nasty you want and not use up that spot
maybe $59................BUT ITS ........ UNAVAILABLE..... UNAVAILABLE ....WTF
Brilliant idea. I was ok using what came with the unit but this will be so easy. Thankyou.
double-sided tape would work and be cheaper?
Thank you for the info. Just tried and results are amazing. Mirror edge in no time. This is great. Thanks you sweetknives.
Fantastic!
@@Sweetknives would u gain anything from stropping or does the fine grit make stropping unnecessary?
Do you recommend this technique over the upgrade kit by worksharp?
yes

Just put this vid to use as exactly as you did and it worked great! I am a newbie when it comes to sharpening blades but when I it took hair off my arm with easy i was super impressed. Thanks again.
I just use double sided carpet tape. Works great and removes easily
Excellent brother thank you for this awesome hack 🤙🏻🔪
Someone just needs to 3D print the stone holder or “the slide” and allow us to do this separate from the worksharp stone holder
You can buy it on ebay, I did.
You can also buy diamond stones and high-grit whetstones instead of using sandpaper. I use double-sided tape bought on aliexpress instead of using the adhesive.
@@cynot71 ''You can buy it on ebay, I did.'' -> Link?
@@nemaon It's called Work Sharp Precision Adjust Knife Sharpener PSA Lapping Film Slider, and it's sold by general_3d
@@nemaon I have given up on the WS and bought the Hapstone R2. You have more stones to choose from: diamond, CBN, ceramic, alumina oxide, silicon carbide, etc. Both KME and Edge Pro stones will fit on it or you can buy blanks and glue/tape sandpaper to the blanks.
@@cynot71 The R2 looks like a fine sharpening system, well made and all metal. The only downside I see is no adjustment marks. So, there is no way to write down what setting you used on a particular knife and easily return to that. Oh, and it starts out at 5 times the price and up to 12 times the price. The Work Sharp Precision Adjust provides a lot of value and features for the money. For another $50, one can have more accessories and grit options than most knife enthusiasts will ever need.
Well if you're personally selling the lapping film through your ebay link... why not sell the 3m disc adhesive in smaller viles. Save us from having to spend 30$ for way more then we need. Split that tube up into 10 or more units. Sell each unit for 9.99... make a massive profit my friend, and be doing us a favor too! Just a thought.
do you have to re apply the adhesive regularly ? or does it stay tacky?
Inexpensive double-sided tape works well, too...
The only thing I'd say when using the sandpaper and doing pull strokes is just to be cognizant of not rounding the tip.
Why the feathering disk adhesive vs. A double sided tape? Awesome video and going to order this sharpener now.
subbed, cool advice. got the feathering disc adhesive and various grit sandpaper but then had two strokes in 2021 and loss total use of one hand and only partial use in that arm so my knives see minimal use/do not need sharpened any longer but good to know my eleven year old daughter and I have some things to experiment once hers get dulled or we tackle the cheap kitchen cutlery for her mom
Great idea and even more respect for sharing with people . Simple as it may seem sometimes we stumble across things that work excellent and like to tell people and im glad u did . I was in the fence about this due to no aftermarket stones of higher grit to polish except for my rant below . Being a resourceful person has allowed me to modify pretty much anything I want . I’ve been doing my blades with a ceramic rod and can get them to close to mirror but it’s a lot of work and sore arms holding everything perfect . I’m done with it and the leather wheel strop works great but marks up the blade or takes finish off . Great for tools tho bros 👍👍
How well does sandpaper cut super steels? I remember hearing that you need diamond to sharpen some of the high-end steel.
I was just trying to figure out the best way to use automotive paper when the algorithm popped this up in the background. Now I know a) it wasn't as bad an idea as I usually come up with, and b) ... fuckin' A. Thanks!
Dumb question...If the ceramic stone is 1200 grit why are we doing 800? Wouldn't you want to go higher like 1500 and so on?
I just ordered one of these tristone guided sharpeners. How well does it work with just the original Three stones? I just want my knife sharp I don't care about polished Edge. Thank you in advance
Hi. I appreciated this video and went on Amazon prime to purchase the adhesive. They are all sold out. Do you have another option of an adhesive that would work? I really want to give this a try.
I was wondering if they sold just another 3 sided stone of higher grits ? Nope . They want us to pay $70 for some more rods and 3 stones 😂😂. All I need is the damn stone for satisfaction with the product . Their marketing strategist needs my pro advice . Always , always provide more than just one option . Even if it’s not a three sided offer various stones and watch how they fly off the shelves and make this even more popular . They’re guaranteed lots of aftermarket stone sales and would make a killing if they give good Amazon prices compared to competition or even if a company came out with a three sided or one sided pieces that for this they’d make a killing .
I've tried sharpening my pocket knifes with wet stone, it's a mess and a pain in the get accurate. You sold me on this sharpener.
But does not the adhesive build up ?
If you had go go back to the original it would have to be cleaned.
How much of the grit is took off in cleaning ?
Just questions.
Think you can just buy other grit pieces to change out. Then no extra stuff.
I was going to buy that sharpener for my swiss army knives but I was worried that the blade would be too small for the clamp, great video even though you are very close to rubbing the clamp there.. how do you find it for sak?
I have to concur, “Brilliant!.” Thanks!
Thank you so much. I bought this system the day it hit amazon. I love this system and have pretty much wore out the two diamond stones. This has taken about a hundred knives to do and they still work but it's taking an hour to get an edge on a cpm s30V blade when it was new I could do that in 10 minutes. Due to high demand I can not get replacement stones. This will buy me alot more time before replacement stones are needed what a godsend.Thank you sir.
The harder steels like S30V do take more time, especially with the included 320 grit, you really need like 100 grit or less on the early stages with those types of blade steels.
Does work sharp make any diamond impregnated stones for this system? Because I have to sharpen s35vn and when I attempted to do it with a similar tooI all I accomplished was dishing out my stone..
Does anyone make aftermarket stones for this ? Besides worksharp for $75 for 3 🙄🙄
What else can I use to stick the strips on the stones??? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions??
Inexpensive double-sided tape...
I’m just sitting here thinking I can’t shave sharp on my whetstones no matter how long I do it but correct me if I am wrong with this tip I’m sure I could achieve shave sharp in minutes
I do think thats awesome but its not really necessary. the edge you get from the included grits is better than anyone really needs tho to be clear i fully support getting stupid with the sharpness of knives 😂
Worksharp only charges 8 dollars for the replacement stones, so if and when they come out with other options I don’t think they will be terribly unreasonable. Not to say I don’t appreciate the video. Very clever.
You can spend more time but if I can get to that mirror I ll be satsofied and can stet focusing on something else . Learning to sharpen to mirror is a journey .
Brilliant Very informative and eye opening Video! - Definitely going to be finding the gear to do that for when my Sharpener arrives! What a brilliant Money saving Hack! - Thank You so much x x x
Great ideas! Thank you. Have you considered Nano tape in lieu of the 3m compound? No residue. Super sticky. Can even be washed if dirt collects on it over time. Much cheaper too
you can also just put flitz metal polish on the ceramic stone that works also.
With a little research you can find 3 M pressure sensitive abrasives (PSA) plastic backed . It comes in all grits in full sized sheets. I use cut strips with the ceramic Lansky stone.
I just bought psa lapping film from the Taylor company he spoke of. 14$ for 7 grits
I have seen the PSA backed. The question is.... if you put this on the ceramic side can you take it off easily and reuse or is the ceramic side ruined after? It's actually cheaper with the PSA being you don't need to fork out 20 plus bucks for the adhesive.
@@Cracktower1 It peels right off. It may leave a little adhesive that rubs off with a thumb.
Comments for the algo …homie is going up to the high high end of polishing . This is the it,I ate and scariest sharpest it gets .
This video was awesome to watch. Especially, making razor sharp mirror edges. I already planned on getting one of these sharpeners. Now, im going to go that extra mile and do what you did. Thank you so much.
i wish it was still 59 bucks as you state in this video. it's double that price now.
I bought the workshop mk2 and It messed up some of my knife 🥲
That adhesive is impossible to find.
my worksharp PA comes in the mail tomorrow and this was one of the things I was going to try.. excellent video! keep up the good work and thank you for confirming this for me.. keep the videos coming! just subscribed and liked
Seams like the stone would hit to the knife clamp
Will this work on super steels with RHC ratings over 60? Like, will this work on S110c? Notoriously difficult to sharpen.
Absolutely it can sharpen anything but will just take more time is all.
Can someone please help? I live in the Uk and the 3M adhesive is simply impossible to get hold of ! Can anyone please suggest a widely available alternative glue - NOT Spray! bucause it could cause me problems with my chronic COPD - Many thanks in advance x x x
I actually have extra tubes of the 3M adhesive I could sell you and ship to you, if you are interested email me at sweetknives2020@gmail.com
What is the measure device you used to determine sharpness
Hi, Q: Don't you have to put water on the sanding paper when it is 1000 and above? Thx.
Not at all, but it wont hurt anything if you do.
How to put a Wicked Edge to shame....
What adhesive do you recommend?
